EPFO Enables Online Retrieval of Forgotten UAN via Portal and Umang App
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) allows subscribers to retrieve their forgotten Universal Account Number (UAN) online via the official EPFO portal or the Umang mobile app. Users can authenticate using details like Aadhaar, PAN, Member ID, or registered mobile number with OTP verification. This digital process eliminates the need to visit EPFO offices and facilitates access to services such as viewing passbooks and filing claims. The EPF offers an 8.25% interest rate for FY2025-26, continuing its role as a secure retirement savings option for salaried individuals in India.
